Oca

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 10 mos
Schenectady, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Oca needs a family! One of the local shelters we pull from shared reports of Oca roaming a Greensboro neighborhood near a local college campus for several days. Neighbors said he was happy to accept treats from anyone who offered, but he’d quickly dart away if they tried to touch him. At just 7 months old, his limited experience made him shy around people - but time spent playing with other dogs has helped him blossom! He’s now running and playing when initially he wouldn’t. He’s being the silly puppy he couldn’t be on the streets…like playing with your shoelaces, tossing toys in the air and awing you when he wants attention or another treat! Oca is 51.0lbs., heartworm negative and up to date on his vaccines.

Story
This handsome young GSD mix named Benny narrowly escaped euthanasia at an overcrowded shelter. He was brought in after he suffered a foot injury (possibly hit by a bike or car). He ended up with a bone infection in his foot which has now been treated by the vet and is healing nicely. He should be out of the cast in about 2 weeks and he's feeling great. Benny is a happy dog, is very playful and good with people. We have not been able to test him with kids or other dogs or cats due to the injury. He is in a very temporary foster home and we need to find him a forever home quickly. He is 2 years old and 63 lbs. Fully vaccinated and will be neutered prior to adoption. Benny deserves a better life than living on the streets. If you can help by fostering or adopting, please reach out to Julie asap on 919 624 0059.

Story
This precious girl Oakley found herself at an overcrowded shelter in the south and urgently needs a family to take her in. She had apparently been hit by a car prior to being taken to the shelter and her front leg was broken. Our rescue took her to a vet to evaluate her leg and they indicated her leg bone was already healing so they recommended a cast for about 4 more weeks. Oakley is just over a year old, is very happy and adores people. She weighs approximately 50 lbs and is fully vaccinated. Oakley is able to walk around just fine and she can go on short walks until her cast is removed. We recommend a family that can be home alot with Oakley as she really likes being with her people and doesn't love being alone for long periods of time. If interested in this precious girl, please text Julie on 919 624 0059.

🚨 EUTH LISTED — STELLA NEEDS A HERO 🚨 Stella didn’t understand why her life changed. She was owner surrendered and labeled as “not good with dogs”… yet since arriving, she has been kenneled with another dog and has been friendly and calm. 💔 Stella is a gentle girl who already knows sit and shake, walks beautifully on a leash, and lights up for treats. She tries so hard to be good and to make people happy. She is fearful when getting vaccines — not aggressive, just scared — and who can blame her? The shelter is overwhelming and confusing. ✨ What we’re learning about Stella:🐾 Friendly and social in the facility🐾 Walks perfectly on leash🐾 Knows commands🐾 Treat motivated🐾 Likely social with dogs outside the home Right now none of that matters unless someone steps up.

Story
🚨 URGENT – BONDED SENIORS + THEIR FRIEND EUTH LISTED 🚨 Three loyal hearts are running out of time. PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152 Prince and Chandler, both 10 years old, arrived at the shelter together with their friend Tina (7 yrs). After a lifetime together, they now sit in a kennel wondering why everything they knew is gone. 💔 Prince & Chandler are bonded and depend on each other for comfort. Prince is the confident one — he walks perfectly on a leash and gently leads the way. Chandler is a little unsure, but he trusts Prince completely and will follow him anywhere. Their quiet devotion to each other is beautiful to see. They are both very friendly, calm boys and dog friendly, just understandably nervous in the loud shelter environment. Their companion Tina, who came in with them, is a very sweet and friendly girl. She can be sensitive about her back end being handled but otherwise has a loving personality and simply seems overwhelmed by the shelter chaos. These dogs did nothing wrong. They lost their home and now their lives are at risk. Senior shepherds are some of the most loyal, grateful dogs you will ever meet. They are past the puppy chaos and just want a safe place to rest their heads and someone to love. ⏳ They are euthanasia listed and urgently need help. A miracle could still save them:‼️
